All New York residents are eligible to get pharmacy discounts through the NYRX program. The program may be used to provide savings on prescriptions not covered by your health insurance or Medicare Part D. The program may also be used instead of your insurance coverage when it offers greater savings than your copay. The savings vary, but can be as much as 80%.
